Chapter 453 Terrifying Snow, Driving Practice 【Subscription】

The sky was hazy, and the faint light provided Zong Shen with a certain vision.

But the snow all over the sky obscured these visions again.

According to this thickness of snow, normal houses and stone houses cannot even open the doors.

Fortunately, Doris and Howie had already made preparations and made a simple partition outside the door with a piece of wood before the arrival of winter.

In this way, even if the snow accumulates, a small open space can be reserved at the door, at least it will not completely affect the travel of the living area.

In addition, they also carried out snow removal work on the main road in the living area, and the windshield also played its due role, which made the snow accumulation in the living area not as serious as Zong Shen imagined.

However, it is still not optimistic. The thickness of such snow has exceeded the passing limit of the load-bearing mecha, and the snow shovel cannot push the excess snow.

With such a thick snow, not to mention ordinary mules and horses, even those large riding beasts would be unable to move an inch.

Zong Shen tentatively took a few steps forward and came to the position where the steps were originally.

There is snow everywhere now, and it is impossible to know what terrain is under the snow.

Without the concept of deep and shallow, every step is full of unknowns.

Zong Shen could only try his best to move forward according to his own impression.

He took out the [Wind, Fire and Thunder Trident], as a long pole weapon, it could act as a snow pole.

The heavy halberd body and the level of conical hammer can ensure its reliability.

Fumbling step by step like this, Zong Shen walked down three steps, and when he completely stepped on the ice on the ground, the snow was about to cover his waist and crotch.

The ice layer on the bottom is frozen hard and smooth, and even if the wearer's snow chain pierces his walking, it is still full of resistance.

In addition, the snowstorm has not stopped yet, and the dense snowflakes fall overwhelmingly like pieces of paper.

Zong Shen only took a few steps forward and then returned to the original place. How should this situation be better?

After entering the third stage of winter at noon, the subsequent temperature may be further reduced.

Going out and searching for a Winter Treasure chest will become a distant dream.

Zong Shen stepped back slowly, groping back to the platform at the door.

In such a short time, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of pure white gauze.

Those are formed by the rapid attachment and accumulation of falling snowflakes.

He stood on the platform, thinking hard about countermeasures.

I suddenly remembered that when I asked about the weather forecast yesterday, the strategy prompt once said a paragraph.

"But there is something in your latest exchange that can handle this situation."

When Zong Shen remembered this sentence, he suddenly realized what the strategy was referring to.

He stepped off the platform with the [Wind, Fire and Thunder Trident] again, and braved the blizzard to open up a road leading to the outside of the small courtyard in the snow.

He stopped when he came to the open space outside.

I immersed myself in the storage compartment, looking for items that can cope with this kind of snow.

Soon he found it, and he reached out and waved on the open space in front of him.

Suddenly, a silver-gray behemoth appeared.

This is a Fel Mecha, which looks smaller than the Weight Bearer Mecha.

There are three sets of drill bits at the front, the middle one is the longest, two meters long, and there are two auxiliary small drill bits on both sides. These drill bits are in a spiral shape, with strips of knife grooves in the middle, and a few bright diamonds are inlaid at the top. The alloy stone, which is the key to the drill's ability to break through the soil and rock.

After the drill bit, is the body of the fuselage, which is about three meters in length. There is only one member cabin and no cargo space. The chassis adopts a split crawler. There are three sets of road wheels in the front to form a small triangular crawler section, and the rear is composed of five A conventional track section composed of a set of road wheels.

There is a round transparent glass cover on the cockpit, and a circle of silver-white mithril is riveted on the edges on both sides. Some glyphs are engraved on it, some are similar to "Solidity", "Heating", "Cooling". The little magic of the glass enhances the strength of the glass and its suitability for special situations.

That's right, the key to a smooth trip in the second half is this [Magic Drilling Machine].

Zong Shen had not driven this thing before, so he came to the cockpit and chose to open the glass cover.

Inside the driver's seat there is only one set of double occupants.

The controls appear to be more complex than the load bearer.

There are three sets of pedals, six levers, a master lever and several buttons.

The weight-bearer mecha is not so fancy. The steering wheel uses a steering wheel, and this is directly on the main control stick. It looks like an excavator, but the instrument panel that indicates the parameters is missing. .

But more or less there is also some "sense of technology".

Zong Shen sat in the cockpit with doubts along the several foot openings reserved on the side of the fuselage.

The glass hatch was closed to keep out the wind and snow.

This fel mech is not exclusive to goblins, so the cockpit is spacious enough.

It's just that Zong Shen is at a loss as to how to drive.

The two goblin ripper drivers are the ones who are more proficient in magic machinery in the territory.

However, they are also in the living area now, and they cannot quench their thirst from afar.

"Let's ask for help directly."

Zong Shen sat in the driver's seat for a while and decided to ask Xiao Fu to help.

"Please tell me how to drive..."

After his requests and doubts were fed back from his heart, golden annotations began to appear in the control section in front of him, and the function of each button was noted aside.

"Start first...then push the third-order power putter..."

"Turn on the rig to warm up..."

"Here are the gears for the rig and these push rods are the power gears..."

"The main control rod is used to control the direction. When drilling the ground, the rear track will be lifted a little and there will be a certain degree of inclination."

"And the center of gravity is on the bit at the front, and it's going to drill down at an angle."

"Returning to the ground or changing direction is also done in this way..."

Through the golden annotations, Zong Shen quickly figured out the functions of these control mechanisms.

At the same time, I also have a certain understanding of how to drive the [Magic Drilling Machine].

"Then let me try..."

Zong Shen activated the magic energy core and pushed the three-level power putter.

Accompanied by the friction sound from the transmission, the fuselage began to vibrate continuously.

After a few seconds, the vibrations stabilized and the unpleasant friction noise disappeared.

Only the steady voice of "Teng Teng" came from the core of the magic energy.

Zong Shen started to push the main lever, moved towards the east, and left the central area from the city gate.

There's plenty of open space for this rookie driver to venture into.

The heavy snow could not stop the magic drilling machine from advancing.

The front-end drill bit only needs the lowest gear of power to drill through the snow, and the loss of durability is almost non-existent. In front of the drill, the snow cannot form resistance at all.

At the same time, the glass cover of the cockpit also has a mystery. The glass cover can be automatically heated in the wind and snow, and the snow covering the surface will be melted quickly, which will not obstruct the forward vision, and also allow the cab to maintain a certain temperature.

This thing can really drive in thick snow, and it's not slow.

If Zong Shen was more courageous, he could even directly control the drilling rig to break through the ice layer dozens of centimeters thick and travel in a more arrogant way.

According to the previous information, the drill bit of this thing can break even granite, and in some cases, it can even be used as a special vehicle for clearing obstacles and directly drill through buildings.

However, its drill bit also has corresponding durability. When facing those relatively hard objects, the durability of the drill bit will decrease rapidly.

The drill bits on the rig can be replaced, but are only available in certain workshops in a few Terran and Goblin cities.

After confirming the feasibility of driving the drilling rig, Zong Shen was relieved.

Although this thing can only carry two people, it is enough for him.

At least he won't miss the Winter Treasure Chest in the third stage.

At most, take a little effort and drive a few less.

You must know that his own strength is not weak, and he has a lot of summoning skills with him.

Then call on Aishia or Doris, who have their own mass destruction skills and auxiliary skills, to travel with him. I dare not say more, destroying three or five groups of ice monsters and opening some treasure chests will not work. questionable.

As for the snow monsters in winter, after entering the third stage, it is estimated that there will be not many left.

The surviving lords alone can kill more than half of them during this period of time.

Zong Shen has experienced these two days of hunting, and is already a little tired of the Winter Snow Monster.

Especially after the mass freezing situation encountered yesterday.

So his next focus is still on the Winter Treasure Chest and Icefield Monsters refreshed in the third stage.

Only 1000 Winter Chests will drop in each area.

These treasure chests are not only comparable to silver treasure chests, but also have a fixed 500 points reward.

Plus you can get some points by killing those guarded icefield monsters.

The comprehensive income is actually far greater than simply killing the Winter Snow Monster.

At this stage and the next stage, the biggest trouble is actually the problem of travel.

After solving the travel problem, the rest should test Zong Shen's personal strength and experience.

In the field of force, someone from his sect has not yet served anyone.

Judging from his current comprehensive strength, he fully possesses the strength to single out an orange overlord monster.

The only drawback is that it is impossible to travel in groups, and the efficiency of searching for the Winter Treasure Chest will be much lower.

But in any case, Zong Shen still has more advantages than most of the lords in the region, not only the travel conditions can be met, but also the military conditions can be met.

He can still take the initiative to go out and find treasure chests.

And other lords can only take their chances, expecting the Winter Treasure Chest to come right around the territory, or go out at greater risks.

After it was clear that the [Magic Drilling Machine] was really useful, Zong Shen was in a good mood.

Yesterday's mood swings were thrown out of the sky by him.

He drove the drilling machine to practice repeatedly in the open space beside the territory.

Thoroughly mastered the relevant driving skills, and even tried to drill ice and ground.

After practicing for more than an hour, he didn't return to the lord's small building until it was dawn.

Now Zong Shen is able to drive the drilling rig proficiently.

This thing is a rare magical energy mecha. The magical energy core used is stronger than that on the load bearer mecha. In addition, it has no extra load, so it can maintain a speed of more than 35 kilometers per hour in the snow. go ahead.

Zong Shen replenished the lost magic energy to the full, and then put it away.

When he returned to the small building, it was already past seven in the morning.

Mariel, Vereesa, Luna, Madeleine, and Maple have all woken up.

Hot porridge is being boiled in the earthenware pot in the kitchen, and sausages are also being heated in the iron pot on the side.

The girls had already eaten breakfast and were chatting enthusiastically in the living room at this time.

In the kitchen is a breakfast specially reserved for Zong Shen.

After seeing Zong Shen come back, the girls quickly got up and surrounded him.

Brush the snow off him, take off his helmet and cape.

Like a maid.

"Sir, where have you been?"

Luna asked curiously, as Zong Shen's woman, she should be more open.

In response, Zong Shen just smiled slightly and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

When he walked to the long table, he responded.

"I went to try to drive the [Magic Drilling Machine]."

"It can drive on ice and snow with ease."

"But apart from the driver, there is only one passenger seat left."

As he spoke, he walked into the kitchen, and his voice became less clear.

After taking out some clean tableware, Zong Shen stood there and started to enjoy breakfast.

Now the snow outside is very serious, and the blizzard will last for more than two hours before it stops.

The people under his command are not suitable for going out at all, so Zong Shen has no task to give them.

Everyone's only task at the moment is to honestly hide in the house, avoid being hurt by the cold winter weather, and safely meet the upcoming third stage.

As long as you survive the 24 hours of the third stage, the Winter Challenge will be completely over.

Just don't know when the next round of challenges will come.

If according to Chen Rui, the next round is likely to have a hot climate challenge.

Then there is a certain probability that like this winter challenge, there will be a few days of buffer time.

In the past few days, Zong Shen will be able to receive refugees and prepare to build a large pasture with Master Mars.

Stop by to solve the problem of Griffin's Nest, and then rush to Bosbon to set up a teleportation array and Baron Bezos to explore the ruins of the Lion Knight.

At the same time, we can separate the population and start excavating the ruins below the rogue camp.

As for the Goblin tribe and the little black dragon, I can put it later.

The heat is not like winter, with freezing and snowfall.

They no longer need to wear big coats or step on ice, which is like floating in the air in the eyes of the aborigines.

At most, it's a little warmer and less dressed.

At that time, I will be preparing some frost-type props, which should be able to solve the problem.

Zong Shen thought optimistically while eating breakfast.

The communication last night has basically verified Chen Rui's credibility.
